Becoming Us: It’s Daddy, not Babe

June 16, 2017

Zariah went through a season of calling Travis babe. It was the cutest thing. I can’t decide what was better : Hearing her cute little voice call for her daddy, “babe, hey babe! babe”. Or watching the look on his face as he told her “It’s daddy, not babe.”

It’s Daddy AND Babe

Since Father’s Day and our anniversary are just around the corner, I thought it would be appropriate to let you get to know the final member of our family. He goes by Daddy…. and Babe! 😉

(You can get to know Zariah here and Ezekiel here. And of course head over to my about page to read about me!)

Okay, so back to my hubby!

5 Hats Travis Wears:

Preacher

But he didn’t go to seminary. From time to time he preaches at our church, but he’s not the pastor. He’s probably going to get on me for even saying that he’s a preacher. Haha! Travis has been called that throughout the years and doesn’t particularly like it. But to be honest, my husband preaches. He proclaims. Everywhere he goes he tells. He speaks. He is a passionate man who boldly and fluently preaches the word of God.

Graphic Designer

Travis is an artist… a creative type. He has dabbled in lots of different types of art throughout the years and decided to get a degree in Graphic Design in college. I love the way my husband sees things in an artistic way. I love that he can help me critique my photography and can give me his opinion about design!

Novelist

Yes you heard right! My husband has so many book ideas stored up! One is a fantasy series for which he created an entirely new world. Or should I say “worlds”?! How does he come up with it all!? It’s a wonder to me!

Salesman

Currently bringing in the money for Best Buy. But let me tell you… this man can sell anything! And he’s not one of those sleazy sales people who will do anything to get the money. No, he takes the time to listen to what people need and he excellently helps them get the best thing for them. When it comes down to it, he’s a man that influences. And when you combine that with his zeal for the truth and love for people, you have one mighty man of God!

Movie Reviewer

Oh yes, my husband LOVES movies. But it took me quite a while to understand… and accept that he doesn’t just watch movies. 🙂 He dissects them. He loves looking at the deeper themes of movies, and analyzing storylines, acting, etc. And that is why he will be launching a movie review channel on Youtube soon!

There you have it! 5 hats my husband wears so you can get to know him better. But my husband is so much more… there are so many awesome things I could tell you about him. I guess because he likes the number 7 better than the number 5, let’s add these to the mix:

He’s Daddy.

And such a good one might I add! He is so intentional about getting to know the unique identities of our children. I love the way he utilizes moments in time to teach deep lessons to our daughter. I love the way he speaks to our son as though he is the little man he will one day become. And I see the way he looks at them. He sees so much in them. He speaks and prays life over them.

He’s Babe.

Yes, he is babe. He’s mine and I’m proud to say we are coming up on our 4 -year anniversary. And oh how grateful I am that it was him. He is the one the Lord gave me. To walk with me, talk with me, lead me, grow with me and build with me. My boo! I could go on and on about the ways that I love him.

But I will end it here. And this concludes the “Get to Know Us Series”. Let me know what else you want to know about us in the comments below.
